texanwellfan Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 1 hour ago, mio said: I heard this morning he might be out for a few weeks, not sure what the issue is but it’s disappointing. a centre half and centre forward is required. I actually felt AP did better yesterday and was decent in the 2nd half in particular. In the cameos Hendry has made I have seen nothing so far other than him throwing his arms about in the air when players aren’t passing to him. I’d accept that if he was in good positions but he’s stood static next to defenders,. He also seems to have a poor touch and can’t hold the ball up and is unaware of players in better positions. I’ve not been impressed. Funny old game, right! I thought AP was very poor yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we could play McGhee, Just, Watt, Fadinger, Priestman and Halliday in centre midfield and SOD and Sparrow out wide mid. When it comes to central defence, we have far fewer options - which is why I see that as a priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched him quite a bit at the game yesterday as I have been quite critical of him in previous games, and in the first half he wasn’t great but in the 2nd half he worked his ar5e off and helped create quite a bit. He also played a big part in both our goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stall Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Slattery is the same as anyone else at the club - if an offer comes in which the club think is good business, he will be off Signing for Millwall tomorrow by the way Just made that up 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Thought we might have been interested in Shamal George. Was at Livingston and now at St Mirren. What’s happened to Jordan McGhee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Unfortunately, I fear McGhee might be this season’s Callachan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 When McGhee signed i am sure you and I had the discussion about my concerns about his injury record. Take no satisfaction about being right. Was it a gamble worth taking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Mcghee played 30+ games for all but one of the last 8 seasons or so, going over 40 a few times. So I wouldn't describe him as a Callachan style crock. We signed the latter after him being out a whole season. We'll see how this season goes, but Mcghee will be up against it trying to get into the team having missed pre season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 This from club website on 16th July: Jordan McGhee is set to spend 6 to 8 weeks on the sidelines with a thigh injury. He picked up the injury ahead of the first match against Clyde in the Premier Sports Cup. He has begun his rehabilitation and we look forward to welcoming him back into the squad. Jens Berthel said “It’s very unfortunate that we lose Jordan for this period of time. He’s made a very good impression in my time here. He brings experience and versatility to the squad, so he will be missed. However, he is already on the road to recovery and we look forward to him getting back soon.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 So hopefully he’s recovered and available right after the international break? That must be about 8 weeks, since the league cup games started in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fit and back in training last week. If he has broken down again thats a concern. We havent missed him thus far, but he was a guy, I was hoping could cover a number of positions, so would have been good to have as a squad player as the season progressed.

robsterwood Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 21 hours ago, Kmcalpin said: If any doubt persisted about our recruitment needs before today's game, then Killie helpfully removed them. A huge couple of days coming up for us that could make or break our season. Clearly we need cover at left back following Wilson's temporary departure. If, as rumours indicate, that Slattery is out for a period of time, then another midfielder is a must. Finally we require 2 new centre backs whether Balmer departs or not. Our defence has largely been ignored in JBA's rebuild but its critical that its now addressed and quickly. Agree. Defence has been neglected.

joewarkfanclub Posted September 1 Report Share Posted September 1 McGhee WAS back in training and available last week. If he has broken down again, that would be a concern. He arrived injured. Got fit. Got injured again and was only just back. Starting to think the Kettlewell curse lives on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
